How Does The Steam Work?; True Convection - Thermador PROFESSIONAL Series Recipes

HOW DOES THE STEAM WORK?

1. The water tank is filled with
fresh tap water.
2. When the appliance is switched
on, a valve opens. Water from
the tank is delivered into the
evaporator dish at the bottom
of the cooking compartment.
3. Under the evaporator dish,
there is a heating element
which heats up.
4. The water in the evaporator
dish begins to boil and
evaporates.
5. The food is enveloped by
the steam and cooked gently
without pressure.

TRUE CONVECTION

During True Convection mode,
a heating element on the back
panel of the cooking compartment
is heated. The fan then circulates
the hot air around the food.
True Convection is most suitable
for making sweet and savory
pastries, pot roasts and various
cakes; this mode is not suitable
for braising.
For the slow cooking setting, the
True Convection is specially
adjusted so that all tender pieces of
meat are particularly juicy and cooked to perfection.
True Convection is also used for dish warming and keeping food warm.
This enables you to keep food warm for a short time and to warm
porcelain dishes.
